The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) announced Monday it has started a review on Genesis Global Limited, and decided to suspend its operating license with immediate effect pending the conclusion of the review.
The regulators cited a number of unspecified compliance issues, stating it suspects the company has breached a condition of the license and is unsuitable to carry on the licensed activities. The license suspension, effective from July 20, makes it illegal for Genesis Global Limited to offer gambling services via its 12 websites in the UK, including casinoplanet.com, genesiscasino.com, casinojoy.com, among others.
The UKGC has instructed the operator to facilitate customers accessing their accounts to withdraw funds and advise customers not to place any bets through the suspended websites.
